The weather was not sunny and there was snow at night.
After drinking one glass after another, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
This is a small courtyard of a monastery. The owner must have spent a lot of money when it was built. However, when the troubled times came, it was all in vain. No one can tell where the owner's family went, and the courtyard was abandoned here.
After the situation gradually improved, some people focused on this courtyard, but it was quickly taken away by the government, and a large area of ​​land around it was turned into military land.
On the eve of the founding of Daliang, the courtyard became one of the barns of Longxiang Mansion in Mangshan.
In more than twenty years, it has transformed from a wealthy family's monastery, to an abandoned courtyard, and then to a military residence. It cannot speak, but it reflects the changes of the times.
Outside the fence and courtyard wall, warriors wearing sheep fur walked back and forth to patrol.
Heavy snow fell from the sky, covering up all the wheat planted before winter.
Next to the stone mill in the courtyard, the soldiers swept the wheat bran into the dustpan and prepared to get up at night to feed the war horses.
The paper lanterns fluttered and swayed in the wind, and their dim yellow halo looked hazy.
Tong Qianjin carried two plates of steaming stir-fry dishes, pushed open the door with his elbow, and walked in.
There were eight or nine people sitting in the room, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was lively.
"I received a letter this morning. Sima Rui is worried." Shao Xun's voice reached his ears, seeming to be filled with a bit of amusement, a bit of withdrawal and a bit of sympathy (?): "Sima Rui ascended to the Jin Dynasty years ago.
As for the throne, just after the first day of the first lunar month, the ministers again urged me to take the throne as emperor. I spoke wisely."
Zu Ying looked sick and had no big reaction after hearing this.
Xu Liu was very surprised.
Human Day is the seventh day of the first lunar month, and today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It only lasts eight days. What does this mean?
It shows that there were too many people inside Jianye who reported the news. Someone wrote the letter on the seventh day of the first lunar month and sent people to cross the river to the north. Then there must be a special person responsible for the matter and it was quickly sent to the capital. It only took eight days.
If it spreads normally, it would take less than two months. Around the Chinese New Year, it might extend to three or four months.
Emperor Daliang paid great attention to Jianye,
"Jizu (Xu Liu), you have lived in the east of the Yangtze River for a long time. Do you know who will be in power in Jianye after this persuasion?" Shao Xun signaled with his eyes, and Guan Lang immediately stepped forward to pour wine for everyone.
Zu Ying still looked weak, but he kept observing Lang.
In terms of appearance, he is slightly better than his father, and his demeanor is very in line with the taste of a scholar. But in terms of demeanor, he is much worse than his father. After all, his experience is different and he is too young.
But there is a saying. At the age of nineteen, the King of Chu was already relatively good. He must have experienced the teachings of famous teachers since he was a child. He also taught by words and deeds around the King of Liang, and the rules were very strict.
Within a large aristocratic family, they are also the core children that the family can focus on cultivating and seeking benefits for the family after becoming officials.
He was quite satisfied.
Xun Niang sat next to Bu Xun, her eyes only falling on her son.
As a mother, she wants nothing more than to marry a wife as soon as possible. After giving birth to grandchildren, she can feel at ease.
In this life, there will be ups and downs in the first half of her life, and she will be happy in the second half of her life. This is what she wants.
Lu Chen, the secretary-supervisor, and Xu Shi, the Huangmen servant, were more eager.
I can't say that I have any ambitions, but I just have a little hope that the marriage will be completed as soon as possible. Under the operation of Taichang Temple, it has almost progressed. Now there is only the last step, and there is no way to go back.
When Xu Liu saw Shao pouring wine for him, he immediately stood up to thank him, and then sat down again with a look of fear on his face.
"Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, Wang Dao Wang Maohong will definitely be the prime minister and take charge of political affairs." Xu Liu calmed down and replied, "As for military affairs, they actually depend on other states."
"Where?" Shao Xun asked.
"Huaiyin, Shouchun, and Guoyang are three places." Xu Liu said: "Between Huaiyin and Guangling, there are mostly Xusi Liu people's troops who went south. They were founded by Zu Shizhi, with about 30,000 soldiers."
"One of the troops in Shouchun is Shouchun, the other is the garrison in Hefei, and the other is Jiangzhou troops."
"Xiangyang is the best in Jingzhou."
Shao Xun nodded. The Southern Dynasty was doing it here and there, and this was basically the military pattern.
The refugee army defended the Huaisi River Basin north of Jianye, and the Wudi clan also provided some soldiers, horses and navy - Shao Xun called it the "Xuzhou Group".
Shouchun was born out of Soochow Jiangzhou Group.
This place produced many generals during the Soochow Dynasty, and Chai Sang of Zhou Yu's army was located here.
Sun Quan attacked Hefei many times and also transferred troops from Jiangzhou - Shao Xun called it the "Jiangzhou Group".
The farthest west is Jingzhou, with Guoyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Jiangling, Wuchang and other places as its basic base, covering both land and water. Shao Xun calls it the "Jingzhou Group".
In addition to the three major groups, there are actually soldiers and horses of Jiangdong's wealthy families and troops stationed near Jianye. A considerable part of them are the Qingxu and Yuzhou refugee armies, but they are not necessarily the first generation of refugees. Many young people were born in Wudi.
However, in the political context of Jiangdong, they are still "refugees" and are slowly being resettled through the establishment of prefectures and counties.
Which of these military groups is stronger? It’s hard to say now.
Historically, the one that stood out in the early stage was Jingzhou Group.
This force was composed of local soldiers from Jingzhou and elite troops from Kansai who had moved to exile. Because they had fought against the Northern Dynasties for a long time, they had rich experience and strong combat effectiveness.
During Huan Wen's Northern Expedition, he set out from Jiangling with 40,000 troops on foot and cavalry. The main force was the Jingzhou Group's troops.
In this time and space, Shao Xun carefully studied the military reports sent from Nanyang and believed that the strongest group in the Southern Dynasties was actually the Jingzhou Group.
Who would have thought that Zhang Chang rebelled in Jingzhou more than 20 years ago. The soldiers of Jingzhou and even the soldiers of Wancheng were vulnerable to a blow. They defeated him several times and killed many generals and even the king.
However, after Liu Hong collected the remains of his army, resettled the refugees from Guanxi, and recruited powerful tribes and barbarians, he reorganized and trained a warworthy army.
Jianye also supported it very much. It worked hard to build it and its combat effectiveness increased day by day. It has become the most important pillar of the Southern Dynasty.
Compared with the Jingzhou soldiers, the so-called Beifu soldiers have not yet taken the lead. However, because they are close to Jianye, the Qingxu refugee army will receive more attention. In addition, Jingzhou is far away and the risk of rebellion is greater. Sooner or later, it will surpass the Jingzhou soldiers.
thing.
Now it is necessary to kill the Beifu Army in advance, or at least severely damage it, and it will be more convenient in the future.
Thinking of this, Shao Xun asked: "Who will lead the troops and horses stationed near Jianye?"
"It was Liu Kun before." Xu Liu said: "After Liu Kun went north, he heard that he would be handed over to Shanxia Shanyanlin."
"Who is Shanya?" Shao Xun asked.
"Shan Xia is the grandson of Shan Tao and the son of Shan Jian. He has a fierce temperament. When he was ordered by Yu Yao, he used the excuse that there were many wealthy families holding Zang's household registration as an excuse. He wanted to clear out more than 10,000 households." Xu Liu said: "Yu Yao's powerful people raped Yu Xizang.
There were so many households that Shan Xia wanted to hunt them down. The elders of Yuyao were delighted with their high integrity.
He was obstructed on the grounds of "not suitable for humiliation", but the county soldiers could not arrest him."
"The wealthy Yuyao clan also framed Xia for a crime on the pretext of building a county house in the mountains. When asked by the internal history of Kuaiji, Xia begged to stay in office for a hundred days to complete the unfinished business, but he was not allowed to do so, so he was convicted and dismissed from office."
Damn it! The descendants of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest were so famous that they actually fought back and forth with local gangsters in a county, and were framed and driven away in the end.
If he hadn't been a famous scholar and a high-ranking member of Nandu, he might have been killed by Yuyao's wealthy family.
Shao Xun actually had a good impression of this person.
Warrior!
It's a pity that you don't have a good environment. If you were on my side, you can feel free to investigate, I will support you.
"Since Shan Xia was dismissed from office, why did he suddenly assume great power?" Shao Xun asked.
"Shan Xia's niece became the crown prince Sima Zhong's concubine. It's normal for her to become a relative and soar to the sky." Xu Liu said with some envy: "All the sons of the Shan family have mediocre talents, but Shan Xia has the courage to do things.
Most of the checks on Yuyao household registration were done under the orders of Sima Rui, Director Wang and others.
After finding that there was no way to go, I stopped. Times have changed, and it is just right to pull it out."
Shao Xun thought for a while.
This is truly an emperor and a courtier.
If Sima Shao had not died and the position of prince was his, then his wife's relatives would definitely be in charge of power, such as Yu Liang in history.
But he died. Sima Zhong was already very fond of Sima Rui, and he once wanted to make him the crown prince. It was natural for him to become the crown prince, and the family of Crown Princess Shan's family took advantage of the wind.
Unknowingly, Yu Wenjun became his doting little wife, and Liangzi also carried out the work for him. The changes in Jianye's history may not necessarily have been a fork in the road of history. The eighteen-year-old Sima Zhongruo had not followed Zu Miao in the northern expedition to Shile.
It's not like he died suddenly and suddenly within a few months. He didn't know how he died. He didn't know how he died. He didn't know how he died. He didn't know how he died. He didn't know how he died. He just knew he was dead.
"Your Majesty, Princess Shan of the Jin Dynasty is the niece of Yangyang Pengzu." Xu Liu said again.
Shao Xun was really speechless this time.
Do you want to be so good at weaving a network of relationships?
In the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Liang Dynasty, the relationship between the powerful and powerful classes was intricate and intricate, which is amazing.
If Sima Rui had the advantage at this time, Shao Xun suspected that the officials and generals under his rule would also engage in large-scale secret collusion with the opposite party.
"Kawauchi Sanshi——"
He sighed and said: "During the western tour, I will take Shan Shihui with me and have a good talk with Yang Pengzu. As for you—"
Xu Liu looked serious.
"Go back early and contact loyal people." Shao Xun said, "Once the time is right, start an attack immediately and I will send a large army to respond.
"I obey the decree." Xu Liu was overjoyed.
"Yi Zu (Xu Shi), do you dare to follow Ji Zu south?" Shao Xun looked at Xu Shi and asked.
He didn't dare.
But when it comes to this, I can only bite the bullet and say: "I obey your order."
Shao Xun quickly looked at Shao again and asked, "Huolang, do you dare to go south?"
Shao was shocked.
"Your Majesty." Lu Xun subconsciously grabbed his hand, trembling slightly.
Shao Xun gently stroked the back of his hand, looked at his son, and said, "Look at your bearish appearance. My father asked you to go to Qiaojun, but he didn't ask you to go to Jianye."
Shao's face calmed down slightly, he bowed and said, "Son, I obey your order."
"Take your palace officials with you and let them give you advice." Shao Xun said: "Your third uncle will also follow you south. Remember, the palace officials can give advice, but you have to learn to make your own decisions."
"Yes." Shao's mind gradually returned to normal and he responded in a deep voice.
Shao Xun finally looked at Zu Ying and said with a smile: "Shining, how is my son? Is he worthy of your daughter?"
Zu Ying smiled faintly and said: "The king of Chu is handsome and handsome, and he is brave enough to do his job. He is indeed a good match."
Shao Xun was overjoyed, looked at his son again, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you can't achieve results, don't come back to get married. Shi Ning's daughter has a good reputation in Luoyang, and she has many admirers. I don't think you should either."
It’s delaying others.”
Shao's face was red and his ears were red, and he just said: "I will definitely accomplish this."
Lu Xun patted Shao Xun's hand gently, as if blaming him for scaring his son.
Chapter completed!
